This study found that the Alopecia Areata Patient Priority Outcomes questionnaire is a reliable and valid tool for measuring the severity and impact of hair loss in individuals with alopecia areata.

In this study, to address long wait times for alopecia specialists, researchers implemented shared medical appointments for women with female pattern hair loss, modeled on formats previously used for conditions like acne and vitiligo.

This review discusses the effects of dietary protein and its components on cholesterol, essential fatty acids, and possible health consequences, but presents no new clinical findings.

This study reported high patient satisfaction with multidisciplinary shared medical appointments for alopecia areata and frontal fibrosing alopecia, with participants appreciating the educational and supportive group environment.

This study found that presynaptic inhibition of Aαβ cutaneous primary afferents in cats is mostly mediated by GABAergic interneurons that also contain glycine.

This study suggests that peri-incisional triamcinolone acetonide may subtly benefit wound edge apposition in low-tension scalp regions during hair restoration surgery, but shows no statistically significant overall effect.

This review evaluates the quality of alopecia areata-specific patient-reported outcome measures and suggests that more high-quality validation studies are needed to enhance their reliability and validity.

This study assessed the effectiveness of the EQ-5D in measuring health-related quality of life for alopecia areata patients and found it may not accurately capture the burden of the condition, particularly its psychosocial impact, compared to other more condition-specific measures.

This study found that generic quality of life questionnaires, like the SF-36 and DLQI, are not sensitive enough to detect differences in health-related quality of life between patients with varying severity of alopecia areata.

This study found that alopecia areata significantly impacts patients' quality of life irrespective of hair loss severity, and concluded that the newer assessment tools AAPPO and AASIS better capture this impact compared to the traditional SALT measure.

In this study, individuals with alopecia in the UK reported neutral-to-partial dissatisfaction with GP appointments, emphasizing a need for greater support on the psychological impact of alopecia and suggesting enhanced empathy, GP training, and streamlined care pathways.

This article reviews the role of R-spondins and their receptors in bone development and metabolism, highlighting their potential modulatory effects and clinical implications for treating bone loss diseases, but reports no new clinical results.

This study reported that the AAPPO tool effectively distinguishes between patients with alopecia areata based on scalp hair loss severity, whereas the EQ‐5D‐5L may underestimate the specific disease burden, particularly in psychological and social aspects.

This study developed the Alopecia Areata Patient Priority Outcome (AAPPO), a new tool designed to measure and capture the symptoms and impacts of alopecia areata that matter most to patients.

This study found that teledermatology significantly reduced wait times and increased appointment availability for uninsured Latino immigrants, effectively triaging 70% of cases without in-person visits.

This case report discusses a 69-year-old woman with alopecia areata who presented with a growing lesion on her hand, raising diagnostic considerations during her appointment for scalp steroid injections.

This study reported improvements in trichotillomania symptoms among patients who engaged with a psychodermatology service, despite a high rate of missed appointments.

In 1994, medical events like the "Hair Restoration and Aesthetic Nasal Surgery Symposium" were held, where surgeries were observed, and new officers were appointed for the Israeli Society for Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery in 1993.

In this study, both physician and patient reports revealed that more severe alopecia areata was associated with higher emotional symptoms and greater activity limitations among patients.

This study found that ritlecitinib improved patient-reported outcomes related to hair growth in individuals with alopecia areata, with some experiencing clinically meaningful hair regrowth, although changes in emotional symptoms and activity limitations were minimal and similar across treatment groups.

This study found that in a rat skin model, fat cells inhibited the proliferation of organoid hair follicle cells and fibroblasts but may have accelerated hair follicle cell differentiation.

This study found that women with polycystic ovary syndrome in the UK show significant differences in phenotypic and metabolic characteristics based on ethnicity, age, and obesity, influencing management strategies.

The Ewha Medical Journal is now in PubMed, has an AI article editor, and offers Korean reporting guidelines.

In this study, researchers found that fungal infections and unspecified dermatitis were the most common skin conditions in a rural South Florida clinic, and only 20% of referred patients attended dermatology follow-ups.

This study focused on developing workflows for conducting virtual hair and scalp examinations during teledermatology visits, especially for patients with skin of color, due to the rise in alopecia consultations during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Many patients miss follow-ups due to financial issues, no insurance, transport problems, and time limits.

This study observed that patients with paediatric-onset chronic hepatobiliary disease face a substantial health-care burden, highlighting challenges in transitioning this diverse group to adult care services.

Teledermatology can effectively treat certain skin conditions with topical treatments, reducing the need for in-person visits.

This biographical abstract highlights George Rogers' pioneering contributions to the understanding of keratin molecular structure and keratinisation biochemistry, including the application of electron microscopy to hair ultrastructure and the discovery of enzymes and gene transcription processes relevant to keratin proteins.
